Owen Caissie has been on a tear at Triple-A Iowa for a while now, leading many to question why he wasn’t called up earlier. The reason for that is simple, as there would have been no point in promoting the lefty-batting slugger just to sit on the bench behind three other (mostly) lefty-batting outfielders. An argument could be made for Caissie to spell Seiya Suzuki at times, but that would still mean having the top prospect ride the pine most of the time. But between Miguel Amaya‘s unfortunate injury and prolonged slumps from several key offensive stars, the time is right.
